What Is This Charge?
A charge from Amazon Marketplace reflects a purchase at Amazon, the online retailer founded in 1994 with more than 600 U.S. fulfillment and operations sites. Amazon Marketplace is the third-party seller section of Amazon.com, and the charge usually appears when you buy an item from Amazon or an independent seller on Amazon's platform. Amazon is a shopping merchant, and the descriptor often includes the seller name or a short code after the main text. This charge is usually legitimate if you recently placed an order, approved a digital purchase, or bought a subscription item through Amazon.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when you complete checkout on Amazon.com, when a Marketplace seller ships an item, or when Amazon splits one order into multiple shipments. The descriptor can show as AMZN MKTP US, AMZN MKTP US*AB1CD2EF3, AMAZON.COM*AMZN MKTP US, AMZN MKTP US*SELLERNAME, or AMZ*AMZN MKTP US depending on the seller and payment processor. It can also appear after a free trial ends, after a delayed ship date, or when a pre-order is captured. If you shared your card with a family member or saved it in Amazon Pay, the charge may reflect their purchase.
Typical Charge Amounts
Typical Amazon Marketplace charges range from $5.99 for low-cost household items to $129.99 for electronics, clothing bundles, and home goods. Many orders also show a temporary authorization hold for $1.00, $0.00, or the full order total before the final charge posts. Shipping, tax, and split shipments can change the final amount by $2 to $25 compared with the cart total. Digital items and subscriptions can post as $2.99, $6.99, $14.99, or $139.00 depending on the product.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
Check your Amazon order history at amazon.com/yourorders or in the Amazon app to match the date, amount, and seller name. Review the payment method in Amazon Pay and look for recent purchases, gift orders, or household member activity. If the charge does not match an order, call Amazon Customer Service at 1-888-280-4331 and ask for the transaction details. If you still do not recognize it, contact your bank right away and ask for a card dispute or fraud review.
How to Dispute or Cancel
First, open Amazon Orders, select the item, and request a return or cancellation if the order is still eligible. Amazon’s standard return window is often 30 days for many physical items, but some categories have shorter rules, so check the item page and order details. If the charge is for a subscription, go to Your Memberships and Subscriptions in your Amazon account and turn off auto-renew or cancel the plan. If Amazon cannot resolve it, call 1-888-280-4331, then file a dispute with your bank and mention the exact descriptor, such as AMZN MKTP US*SELLERNAME or AMAZON.COM*AMZN MKTP US.
